Get Golf Ready

We are proud and excited to offer Get Golf Ready at Sawmill in 2018. This program is an introduction to golf for beginners!

Get Golf Ready is designed to teach everything you’ll need to play golf in just a few lessons. Attila Becsy, PGA of Canada Professional, will show you that there are lots of ways to play by combining fun, friends and fitness. Each session will focus on the various golf skills you will use while playing (see below). In addition to learning the basics, you will be guided onto the golf course to put your skills into action in a casual, friendly setting.

What You Need to Bring
Just yourself, a desire to have fun and perhaps a few friends to enjoy the great outdoors. *Please let us know if you do not have any golf clubs.

*If you are interested in this program and have a group of 3 - 6 players, please contact Jeremy to make arrangements.

Location
All lessons will be held at Sawmill's driving range or short game practice facility (at the east end of the parking lot).
